Putin ‘desperately’ trying to regain initiative with Kyiv strikes after Kursk losses | Leigh Turner
“Having launched this war, Putin has to win it. So he will be desperate to do anything he can to make sure that Russia wins this.”
Putin’s strikes into Kyiv are likely a retaliation for Ukraine’s Kursk incursion but won’t necessarily help Russia’s war effort, Leigh Turner, former Ambassador to Ukraine tells #timesradio

Putin is not desperately trying to regain the initiative, on the contrary thousands of these alleged Elite brigades are being annihilated complete with their hardware and he's certainly not humiliated but more so surprised why they even thought about advancing into Russia in the first place, didn't someone tell these troops you're more than likely not returning back home.
Want a slightly different view ? Search โjudge Napolitanoโ โฆ look for endgame, rather than which bridge got blown up.
โConflictโ? Terrorism, actually. Stop ruzzia.๐ก
Where the UN mouthing a breach of international law?
Putin is nothing more than a warmongering tyrant
Russia been doing this for the last two year wake up
Putin continues his war crimes activity by attacking civilian infrastructure. Putin won't escalate as he has knows it would be worse for him and he has shown that he is an empty vessel
putin the Impotent.
The reason Israel can get active air defense while Ukraine can not get it so easily is simple military math.
The US ALONE can annihilate Iran 30 times over, but russia is ABSOLUTELY capable of invoking mutual assured destruction.
Therefore, escalation risks must be calculated differently. It's that simple.
Zelensky good politician ๐คฃ
Annihilation? What planet is this guy on?
I'll stick with Russian MOD's updates, western media is just constant lies…as it has been for at least 100 years!
'Since the beginning of hostilities in Kursk region, the AFU losses were over 6,600 troops, 73 tanks, 34 infantry fighting vehicles, 62 armoured personnel carriers, 432 armoured fighting vehicles, 201 motor vehicles, 45 artillery guns, 13 multiple-launch rocket system launchers, including four HIMARS MLRS and one MLRS, five SAM launchers, nine electronic warfare stations, two counter-battery warfare radars, one air defence radars, five engineering vehicles as well as two counterobstacle vehicles and one UR-77 mine clearing vehicle.
The operation to neutralise the AFU units is in progress.'
Putin: "The special military operation is all going to plan."
Times radio, where blonde emancipated Karens in pink sweaters and random grandpas analyzing WW3.The West is doomed.
Putin is like a evil Demon.
Little grandpa is desperate in his bunker ๐
Slava Ukraine
Putin is constantly reactive. Never has a plan or capacity to surprise or take the initiative
Putin should have been removed from office 12 – 18 months ago.
ะกะปะฐะฒะฐ ะฃะบัะฐัะฝั!
He does not need to. Russia has been advancing in Donbass for months now. initiative is with Russia till Ukraine surrender.
